Heading Home From Japan

After a short trip I am heading back home today. I had a great trip getting a ton done for work as well as catching up with colleagues in the evening and having a bit of fun traveling on the weekend which I will share more about later. I've been almost continuously out of town lately so I am looking forward to getting home and doing some things around the house. Next stop Detroit!

Back in Japan

Within 24 hours of getting back from Atlanta from the Final Four I was back on the road again, heading to Japan for work. I left on Wednesday afternoon, arriving in Nagoya in the early evening on Thursday.

Being back in Japan always feels so good and the second I step foot in Toyota City it feels like home again. One of my tricks for getting over my jet lag is to keep busy after I arrive and not let myself go to bed until ten or eleven no matter how tired I am. By the time I checked in at my hotel it was eight o'clock so I did a little shopping at my favorite Hyaku-en Store in town and then went out for a small dinner at nine with some colleagues. We went to one of my favorite places in town, Tsubasaya, which brought back so many good memories.  

I'm only in town for a few days, but I am looking forward to a good trip full of productive meetings for work and some tasty Japanese food.
